We're looking forward to next week because we're going to be looking at really obscure expository text features and the information we can glean from them (we'll tell you what glean means next week...just be patient).
Another week of exploring college-level texts has left our brains full and content! We spent the first two days reading and analyzing the short story, The Stolen Party. Ms. Smith first encountered this text in college, but she thought we could get a lot of valuable things out of it as well. We forged ahead and did a great deal of questioning the author...Why she wrote it, why she chose the structure, why she ended the piece the way she did, why she chose particular characters....it was pretty intense.
